Validation Code

How to validate .info files in Python

Python
def is_info(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid INFO by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(8) == signature

How to validate .info files in Node.js

Node.js
function isINFO(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 8).equals(signature);
}

How to validate .info files in Go

Go
func IsINFO(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20, 0x69, 0x73, 0x20}
    if len(data) < 8 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:8], signature)
}
